Surrey RCMP: “We’re beyond that tipping point”

A plea from Surrey RCMP after a 22-year-old man died this morning in what’s believed by investigators to be a homicide connected to Surrey’s drug trade.

Sgt. Dale Carr with Surrey RCMP says the city’s recent violence comes down to the people involved.

He’s urging anyone involved in the any of the recent deaths to think of not only their own safety, but the safety of those around them.

“This is not just gunplay back and forth. This has turned into murder. And it’s going to take another life of a young person; a young man. And we’re deeply concerned as a police agency and as a community.”

When asked if the detatchment needs more support from federal and provincial sources.

“We’re getting a great deal of support. You know, there’s a point in every sort of crisis…it gets to a tipping point, and we’re beyond that tipping point. And there’s somebody in that organization involved in this that has information that could come forward.”

Carr says it’s also important witnesses in the community come forward.

Meanwhile , every time Harper tries to get tough on criminals our unelected SCOC stand up for the rights of thugs and drug dealers and kill the proposed legislation

It must be nice to live in an Ivory tower and not have to worry about street violence .. but for the rest of us keeping our heads down out here in the trenchs , we are getting sick of seeing the cops and the courts paralyzed by legal restrictions .

I keep waiting for cknw to mention the recent supreme Court ruling on the minimum sentences. Nope, thats not part of their preferred narrative. What do they even think Governments can do? They tried, but 6 of the nine Oracles said “shut up legitimate Government elected by a majority of Canadians with a clear mandate.”
Good luck fitting the round peg in the square hole.

Pay attention. I wrote “a” majority not “the” majority.
As to your question, the only thing I’m confused about is whether walmart is open and whether or not I can buy a hand gun in Canada so I can protect my family. If not I guess I get one legally. Clearly it makes no difference either way. Its not likely a judge will put in jail a father of four with no criminal record.
Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six, as they say…

RCMP expecting witnesses to come forward need to have their heads examined. Guess why? They need to get creative follow these low life punks around video tape them and there friends. Put the heat on them and make their lives a misery. Do the job they were hired to do. Enough already with the media conferences and community meetings.

Two major flaws in your “argument”. First, the idea that police can solve major crimes without public help is a Hollywood fiction. Stop watching so much TV. Second, the real goal is to stop so many kids from getting into the gang life. That requires help from the public, especially parents and extended family. Without that, it’s an endless cycle of “crime and punishment”.

If you were growing up in the 70-s even they touch you about DNA, its composition. I will say that assistance from the public is important but not the sole item that convicts in the year 2015. Perhaps science was not your thing and cooking was.

That one day it would be used for many things one being the identification of human beings. Even in the late 70′ the police kept blood and other human fluids.

The police in Surrey do need to form a strike force, solely for targeting the youths that they have released the pictures of. This problem needs to be cleaned up now before more lives are lost.

As for future prevention,yes education will be a great component. The police can not parent these children and stop them from becoming the miscreants they area.

I do agree with Dangler but, I wouldn’t come forward if I had info on these guys. They’d be released by the Courts before I’d get home from the Police Station giving my statement and they wouldn’t give a second thought to coming to my house and killing me. Why would I stick my neck out when I have no way of defending myself or my family ?

Take a drive in the affected areas of Surrey, the partakers are very easy to notice. You will find them copying the behavior ofbig screen Rap “artists” and basketball players.
They crave to drive one of aboutonly four models of cars (or SUV’s) which must have very high fashion wheels. Their dress very often contains official NBA gear and their slouch in the driver’s seat as well as when they walk is in very sharp contrast to the honorable members of their society. Their “swagger” is not genetic.

These characteristics noted, one must ask, where do they get this from…who are their mentors? That too is easy to deduce.

A much more difficult question is why are other good role models not their roll models? Why don’t they aspire to Taylor Hall or Jerome Iginla or Russell Wilson or Peyton Manning or ………

You know, prohibition isn’t working. It didn’t work for alcohol way back when and it’s obviously not working for drugs now. It’s quite obvious that we don’t have the resources to police it any further. So we either legalize it or let the drug gangs run amok in the world. I for one am in favour of legalizing it. Get it under some kind of control so that the quality is monitored, taxes are collected and so that the gangs lose a lot of their power. This is beyond stupid now.

Questions have to be asked in the homes of these “Princes “. Why don’t the parents ask why their 22 year old with no job drives a Lexus and has money to burn. It is the old story ….not my little Prince !!!!

To have all these Town meetings is useless …you are preaching to the choir !!!!
